Abstract :
Working from the belief that when content is king, content experts should lead, a storyboard-driven approach provides a sound methodology for developing educational games that helps ensure that no good storyboard becomes a bad game. The storyboard-driven approach provides a sound methodology for developing games that have as their keystone the final product´s content. Adventure games focus on content. When we add the educational goal into the mix, this becomes even more relevant. From this notion, instead of adapting the content to fit the technology, we adapt the technology to fit the content. Even though the resulting process might seem burdensome compared to more streamlined processes, this approach has a specific focus that ensures that no good storyboard becomes a bad game.
